When Meg agrees to represent 100 sick people cheated out of health care, a series of strange, threatening events gradually convince Meg that she is in mortal danger, and so is her dear friend, Ginny.

Complicating her efforts are a large group of contentious clients, one very seductive client, and an old friendship that suddenly blossoms into romance.  Meg is challenged physically, professionally, emotionally and ethically, but in the end it's her familiar skills as a lawyer that lead her through this perilous new terrain to a ragged but satisfying justice.

Melanie West has been a lawyer with a civil litigation practice in the San Francisco area for many years.  She now lives in Oakland, California, where she is a court mediator, a photographer, a meditation teacher and, of course, a writer of mystery novels.  Conflict of Interest was inspired by one of the most mysterious cases in her career.
